The sport fishery for cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) in the Lakelse watershed has long been of major importance to recreationists in North western British Columbia and particularly to residents of Terrace and Kitimat.

Author:  S.P. Hatlevik, K. Diemert and M.R. Whately

Date Published:  Aug 1979

Report ID:  54806

Audience:  Government and Public

The sport fishery is traditionally divided (as influenced primarily by fish movements) into two zones. During April and May, large numbers of cutthroat move into Lakelse River to spawn and feed on emerging salmon fry (Bilton, 1954; and Bilton and Shepard, 1955). Aspects of this spring cutthroat fishery were first discussed by the above authors and more recently by Imbleau (M.S. 1978). The fishery shifts to Lakelse Lake during the summer months and it is upon this fishery that this report focuses. The angler interview and creel data herein described and analyzed were collected by a B.C. Fish and Wildlife crew during June, July and August of 1979.
